car just died - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #88154 4 posts Started by Fuzzyfo
Hey everyone, been having electrical issues for a while now with my 94 st. The sunroof opened whenever it wanted. Same goes for the passenger side window but now the window won't close, I have to put a blanket over it to keep animals out. The door bell doesn't always chime when the key is on. My cluster doesn't mark anything now when everything worked on it. And just today when I was out working on the car, the car just died. All the lights turn on but the car won't turn over I won't even make a sound. And by the way, I went into the engine compartment to accelerate the car by hand, I got a massive electrical shock. What could be happening to my car???
Check for electrical shorts, loose wires, corroded connections, damaged insulation.
There are no popped fuses? It sounds like power traveling through your chassis, or a serious grounding issue.

What they said. You've either got a couple wires crossed somewhere or a short to ground.
